    I freeze them and use with porridge for breakfast.
    Just done 28 portions from home grown. Lidl do occasional halfprice punnets. 500g.

    Yes if you're planning on using them as an ingredient in the mix, no if you're trying to use them as a decoration. Xxx

    They do go mushy unfortunately, but if you really want to freeze them, then the best way is to open-freeze them on a tray, and not pack them into bags or boxes until they are absolutely solid. Seems to keep them in better condition.

    A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work
